What is your most memorable game day memory?

One of my favorite memories is my last game day in The Swamp my senior year. It was a night game (a rarity during my time at UF) and my friends and I spent the entire day together tailgating and then sat all together during the game. It was a great game and we really took it all in. I'll remember that day forever.
